IMyuziyam yaseMetropolitan yoBugcisa ngoJanuwari 7, 2021 kwisiXeko saseNew York.ANGELA WEISS / AFP ngokusebenzisa imifanekiso kaGetty Akukho mfihlo yokuba iimyuziyam kunye neegalari ngokufanayo bezisokola kakhulu ngexesha lobhubhane. Kwihlobo elidlulileyo, uManyano lweMyuziyam laseMelika luye lwalumkisa ngelithi enye kuzo zontathu iimyuziyam zaseMelika ingavalwa ngonaphakade ngenxa yengxaki ye-COVID-19; ekuhambeni konyaka ku-2020, umbutho walandela ukunika ingxelo yokuba i-67% yeemyuziyam ezaphendulayo kuvavanyo lwayo zisandula ukuphelisa iinkqubo zemfundo kunye nezinye iinkonzo zoluntu ngenxa yokusilela kuhlahlo-lwabiwo mali. Ngoku, iMyuziyam yeMetropolitan yoBugcisa, kunye nezinye iimyuziyam kwilizwe liphela uthathela ingqalelo ukwenziwa kweedikoni (okanye ukuthengisa) kusebenza koovimba abagcina izibonelelo ukuze kunyuswe imali yokunyamekela ingqokelela yayo eseleyo. Nangona kunjalo, xa unikwa Ndidibene nesipho esikhulu kunye nenqaba yabanikeli abanesisa, le ndlela yokusebenza inokuthi ihlangane nokugxekwa.
NgeCawa, uThomas P. Campbell, owayesebenza njengomlawuli kunye ne-CEO yeMetropolitan Museum of Art phakathi 2009 no-2017 kwaye ngoku usebenza njengomlawuli weeMyuziyam zoBugcisa zaseSan Francisco, uthumele a Amagqabantshintshi amade kwi-Instagram Ukucacisa imiba yakhe ngokusetyenziswa kwe-Met's hypothetical ye-deaccessioning strategy.

Ngoku, ukunceda iimyuziyam zobugcisa ezichaphazeleka bubhubhane we-COVID, i-AAMD iye yahlaziya le mithetho, yenza iwindow yeminyaka emibini apho iimyuziyam zinokufumana ubugcisa bokunyusa imali yokusebenza.
Ngenxa yokuba i-Met yenye yeemyuziyam ezikhokelayo e-United States, uCampbell ukholelwa ekubeni ukuba iziko liqala ukuthembela ekunikezeleni nge-deaccession njengesiqhelo sendlela yokufumana imali yokuhlawula iindleko zokusebenza, ezinye iimyuziyam zinokulandela, zikhokelela kwinkxaso-mali encinci iimyuziyam ekuhambeni kwexesha kunye nehlabathi apho iminikelo yobugcisa yexesha elizayo ingenakuphikiswa. Ukunyanzeliswa kuya kuba njenge-crack cocaine kumlutha-ukubetha ngokukhawuleza, okuba kukuxhomekeka, UCampbell uyaqhubeka . Ngelixa uthelekisa ukuthengisa kweziko lobugcisa ekuthomalaliseni iziyobisi lukhetho olukhethisayo kwisimeli, indawo yomlawuli wangaphambili imi: ukuba iMet inayo $ 3.6 yezigidigidi ayizukukhupha iindleko, yeyiphi ingongoma yokuba nesipho esinjalo konke konke?
